Many people have sat in User Group and Conference audiences or on Lunch & Learn sessions at work, wondering if they could ever be the one on stage. Unsure where to begin, what they’d talk about, or whether they have anything worth sharing.

Or they've got involved a few times, but for various reasons have had a crisis of confidence, and need some support to find their voice again or take it in a new direction..

If this sounds like you, then this adaptable session-to-workshop is your starting point.

Delivered by The Mentoring Hub’s Growing Your Community Voice program leads and shaped by real community experiences, it offers a clear, honest path to becoming an active Community member, contributing what you value and appreciate the most, and in turn finding and honing the creative outlet that's right for you..

You’ll learn practical tips on how to craft engaging content, work collaboratively with others, deliver your story and learning across different mediums with authenticity, and understand what cognitive load is to help avoid burnout..

You’ll leave with clarity and momentum, and the ability to recognise the value you bring long before you ever step into the spotlight.

This flexible content from The Mentoring Hub's Growing Your Community Voice program can be delivered summarily as a 45-90 minute session, or as a full day hands-on workshop.

At the East of England Power Platform Summit in 2026 it was tailored specifically for New and Improving Speakers, with attendees delivering a 5 minute lightning session at the end of the workshop that were peer-voted on, with the top three speakers winning a 15-minute lightning session slot on the Conference Day's New Speaker track.
